Should've banned it all the way through high school, but it's better than most. (thelemmy.club)

What's stopping them from using if for home works?

    Given that it's banned, if they get caught, it'd be punishable.

    You can usually spot AI writing. It's wordy, fluffy bullshit.

    Kids are smarter than this. They'll do things like prompting the AI to write at a certain grade level or prompt it to pretend they're a student whose first language isn't English. Hell they can even upload an essay you actually did write and ask it to write a new essay that matches the writing style of the old one.

    At a certain point in school I realized that cheating was more work than just studying, and what you’re describing is a perfect example.

    I invented my own runic script and would write all the German I was supposed to be learning on the covers of my notebooks, hidden in drawings of monoliths or spaceships or whatever. I would have these notebooks on the floor during tests and I would get perfect scores. Now I don't speak a fucking word of German except for what little I remember from Nightcrawler in the X-men comic books. Unglaublich!

    At that point, why even take a German class?

    Probably nothing, but teachers can easily tell if something was done by AI (usually because lazy students will be lazy enough to not even bother to try and hide it), so with it being properly banned, it gives teachers the authority to question suspicious assignments.
